These things are very controversial when it comes to women, but apparently most think it’s ok when it’s about men.
Do you blame your parents? Why did they do it? Scared of HIV? Not wanting to explain their son how to clean underneath the foreskin?

My parents were told by the doctor that having it was hard to clean, (even as a baby) so came with increased risk of infection. I don’t blame them. I do think the doctor could have been more clear about how large the risk was, and what the downsides to having it done would be. But I obviously don’t have first had experience about the situation, so it could have been different.
This was basically my situation, and it happened at age 4 so ironically some of my first memories are relating to my own circumcision 🙃. I also remember the doctor, with me laying on the table, trying to pull back my foreskin (again…4…) and making the call that I should be circumcised.
I’m not gonna gripe much about it after the fact. My mother did much, much worse things to me than have me circumcised for me to complain about so it’s just one more thing on the pile. I have zero frame of reference to feeling what being uncircumcised is like so I can’t really miss what I don’t know, but my cock works as well as I want and need it to (fuck even more than I want it to some days at 40yo…) so while I’m not happy it occurred without my consent, there’s little I can do with it and it has thankfully never affected my life in any negative way.
My wife and I are both in agreement however that should we ever have kids, we sure aren’t doing it outside of actual medical needs.
